THE METAWEAR STORY

This team of renegade engineers wanted to change the world of Bluetooth. We’ve been building consumer devices for years and have been a major developer of BLE since its inception.

THE METAWEAR TEAM

After we successfully delivered our first campaign, MetaWear, ahead of schedule, we listened to our amazing users. With your ideas, feedback, and our learnings, we made an improved coin cell version, which we are super excited to share with the community.

Using the user feedback from our first product, we've transformed and improved the original MetaWear platform in just about every way; the tiny form factor is now even smaller, power consumption has been reduced, and we've optimized it to run on a single coin cell battery that doesn't need to be replaced for months!

Risks and challenges

We've brought you MetaWear before and we will do it again. Our first campaign was not only successfully funded but it was delivered early!

There are always significant challenges in manufacturing and delivering any hardware product at scale. Fortunately, we've have been working hard and have established relationships with manufacturing partners in the US that will help us bring Metawear to your doorstep.

Of course, there are still risks associated with producing the Metawear board. Unexpected changes in component lead times, availability, and cost are examples of factors outside our direct control that could affect our delivery timeline, but we are working hard to mitigate those risks and plan to be transparent throughout the delivery process.

The other risk with this and any other project that involves physical delivery comes with shipping. There are a number of unforeseen circumstances that can cause problems during the actual physical shipping of the Metawear boards. We plan to work with proven companies to help ensure that MetaWear Coin arrives (in perfect condition) at their delivery destination. Since unforeseen circumstances can sometimes impact the shipping world, we will also make sure to have methods/resources in place to overcome any difficulties.

Please note that the final look and features of the MetaWear Coin are subject to change based on your feedback and circumstances outside of our control such as component availability.

As always we expect our backers, supporters, and MetaWear users to comply with the proper regulations and laws. We expect you to build good products, to recycle, and to do no evil with MetaWear.
